What it is
Cinnamon is a spice made from the inner bark of trees from the genus Cinnamomum. Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean plant. It is one of the most widely used oils in the world.
Why it's used
Cinnamon is primarily used as a spice for its warm, sweet flavor in baked goods, desserts, and beverages. Soybean oil is a versatile cooking oil used for frying, baking, and in salad dressings and sauces.
Health notes
Cinnamon contains coumarin, which can be harmful in large amounts. The FDA considers cinnamon generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as a spice. JECFA has evaluated coumarin and set a tolerable daily intake. Evidence on cinnamon's health benefits, such as blood sugar management, is mixed and requires more research.
